 The Partnership on
Measuring ICT for Development is an international, multi-stakeholder initiative
to improve the availability and quality of ICT data and indicators, particularly
in developing countries. Launched in 2004,
the Partnership
helps measure the information society by:
-
Defining a
core list of ICT indicators and methodologies to collect these indicators;
-
Helping
developing countries collect ICT statistics, particularly through
capacity-building and hands-on training for national statistical offices;
-
Collecting
and disseminating information society statistics in a number of formats,
including a global report and database.

The Role of ITU |
|
|
ITU is an active member of the Partnership on Measuring ICT for Development and
together with UNCTAD and ECLAC, one of the three members of its Steering
Committee.
From the core list of indicators identified by the Partnership on Measuring ICT
for Development, ITU is responsible for collecting the infrastructure and access
indicators (A1-A12) as well as indicators on access to and use of ICTs by
households and individuals (HH1-HH13).
To improve data availability and comparability, ITU works closely with its
member states, particularly the Ministries in charge of telecommunication,
regulatory agencies, and national statistical offices.
ITU provides technical assistance to enhance the capacity of national
statistical offices.
